see u tomo mayor mark farrell is here. his vision for the city and his response to questions about his campaign finances, plus addressing a pay disparity for latinas. >> we're live with the ongoing efforts to make lasting change here locally on this latina equal pay day. >> and the heat? it just continues the warning for some communities now extended as others get a little bit of relief from ktvu. >> fox two news this is the four at first here on the four, we give you a live look here at the south bay looking out toward milpitas, where temperatures topped out just below the triple digit mark this afternoon, during a week of what has been record breaking heat all across the bay area and the blistering bay area, heat wave has been

tough for a lot of folks, and it has made for dangerous conditions. >> welcome everyone to the four. >> i'm alex savage and i'm heather holmes, an excessive heat warning for many parts of the bay area will now remain in effect all the way through tomorrow night. let's get right to our meteorologist, mark tamayo, and mark this warning extended for several parts of the bay area. >> yeah, in fact, i wouldn't be surprised if it gets extended into saturday as well, because the forecast really not bringing it, bringing in a promising cooldown out there. but yeah, it has been the amazing week in terms of october weather. we really warmed up monday, but tuesday, wednesday, thursday for today we're talking about some real hot temperatures. and take a look at some of these preliminary highs. gilroy 108 degrees. saratoga. saint helena 103 hayward. the hayward air terminal reporting 99 degrees. this afternoon. healdsburg. novato. san mateo in the mid to upper 90s. now in terms of the heat warning, the excessive heat warning in place around the bay, the south bay and some of the inland areas. and then also, as you can see here, the heat

advisory that's including san francisco. now and also the north bay valley. so as you can see, that's in place until 11:00 friday. but tomorrow is actually a little bit cooler. saturday could be a little bit warmer. and that will probably lead to another extension of those warnings and the advisories. now the temperature change compared to this time yesterday. you can see lots of minus signs. so there is hints of some are some hints of some cooling out there. as you can see, especially out toward the coast and right around portions of the bay. san francisco yesterday, in the 90s. today in the 80s. so we did cool off in san francisco. still a very warm day and still some real hot temperatures right now in san jose, livermore, concord and fairfield. around 101 to 104 degrees. i did see livermore high so far of 106 degrees this afternoon. what would cool us off is the fog. as you can see here, it's not in the bay area, it's down towards southern california. that's where all the fog is and we are expecting more clear skies. another mild evening for tonight. looking out toward san francisco. right? right around the bay as well. a

bit of some haze with that. spare the air alert in place for today. so another warm to hot afternoon forecast. models bringing in some high cloud cover throughout the day on your friday, so you'll notice that change temperatures tomorrow morning. lots of 60s and then into the afternoon hours. here's the eventual temperature range. tomorrow technically is a cooler forecast, but still the hot spots will be close to 100 degrees tomorrow afternoon around the coast, mainly in the 70s. so around 73 to 100 degrees for your friday forecast. and this little bit of a cooldown will change things up once again by saturday. another warm up headed our way, but eventually we're going to bring in a significant cooldown. i promise we'll have more on that in the timing in just a little bit. >> all right, looking forward to seeing you soon, mark. thank you. we turn now to the aftermath of hurricane helene and the death toll from this storm now stands at at least 215 people, and it's expected to climb more aid is now starting to reach some of the hardest hit areas in the southeast, and that

includes a lot of remote areas in north carolina, fox's caroline elliott reports. >> now, from a community there in north carolina, where crews are working around the clock to bring in supplies and also restore power and phone service. >> plan to be here as long as the community needs us. >> plenty of help starting to get to hard hit areas of the southeast after a direct hit from hurricane helene one week ago, there are hundreds dead and missing hundreds of thousands without power, but were also seeing plenty of hope and resilience here, with neighbors helping neighbors as the damage assessment continues. >> it was amazing to see that community come together. seeing those people risking their lives for others is very, very important. >> there's no telling how many homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed. some hard hit communities were essentially wiped off the map. but despite the widespread devastation, most folks in the region say they want to stay and rebuild. >> i feel so bad for everybody and everybody says, i'm sorry. i'm sorry, and everybody's

sorry. and now it's time to go back to work and let's get it done. >> fema and other government agencies are now deploying in big numbers, but transportation remains a major issue. hundreds of roads are still closed, meaning food and water are becoming scarce in some isolated communities. president biden visited the region for a second straight day on thursday, telling folks they won't be left behind. one small sign of hope is power outages are slowly getting better in this area. you can see crews behind us working now, which is one small sign of hope for the families that live here in swannanoa, north carolina. caroline elliott fox news. >> well, the red cross has sent volunteers from the bay area to assist in the relief and recovery efforts. earlier today, on mornings on two, the nine, we spoke with john mcmahon from the red cross north bay chapter. he's part of a group doing damage assessments in georgia. >> we are incorporating the assistance of partners, and of

course, we work with fema, with salvation army, with some of the other teams. it's neighbors helping neighbors to recover and thousands of families lives have been changed forever. and this has been one of the deadliest disasters ever to hit the united states. >> the red cross has served more than 66,000 families in devastated areas in georgia alone, it has nearly a dozen recovery shelters operating in nine different counties, all across the state. well, first partner jennifer siebel newsom was in oakland today to mark latina equal pay day. >> she joined with nonprofits in bay area latina entrepreneurs to put a spotlight on unequal pay. >> ktvu jana katsuyama. joining us now with the personal challenges and success stories that the women shared today, gianna, heather and alex, this was a very frank, intimate conversation. >> some of the women got very emotional as they talked about the struggles that they faced working and also trying to make

their paychecks stretch. away in oakland's fruitvale neighborhood, first partner jennifer siebel newsom came to connect with local latina entrepreneurs and nonprofits. the goal on this latina equal pay day is to fight together, as latina women are rising through the ranks and demanding to be seen and paid. the same as men. siebel newsom told the group she had just returned from the inauguration of doctor claudia sheinbaum, mexico's first female president. >> it inspires young girls and women in terms of what their potential is, and it demonstrates to boys and men that this is normal, that women are natural born leaders and that they deserve to have a seat at the highest table of power, being seen and heard, and being able to succeed is something the group of nonprofits and entrepreneurs discussed for more than an hour. >> latino women getting half of what white men are being paid

$0.51 of every single dollar paid to white, non-hispanic men. at times it was emotional. an indigenous latina artist, a mexican-american entrepreneur, and many others who began tearing up as they talked about being uplifted and working to uplift other latino women. nancy rosales said she came from a mexican american family in watsonville and decided to start her paleta business. >> i wanted to do something that i could number one for myself, support myself and not do the check to check and control my own hours. but then i realized that it wasn't even about me, and it wasn't about the business. it was about empowering women. >> and at the event today, the latino community foundation announced that it has signed on to california's equal pay pledge. that's an effort started by siebel newsom that calls for organizations and companies to do annual reviews, and also proactive hiring to move towards pay equity. >> so how many businesses have

signed on to that equal pay pledge? >> well, the first partner says it started off kind of slowly. now they have gone to 226 companies that have signed on. and heather, that includes big companies such as gap, genentec, uber, salesforce, as well as some of the smaller nonprofits. >> and janet, did any of the entrepreneurs who were on hand at the event today have suggestions for what the community can do to help out? >> well, you know, one of the things that many of them said is that having more opportunities to network is critical. they said. oftentimes they don't have a rich uncle or aunt who can give them the money. that was how they were able to get their grants, their loans, and also that critical support is just through networking events like this. >> all right. >> jana katsuyama, live in the newsroom. jana, thank you. >> all right. coming up next here on the floor, tackling the tough issues. >> another candidate for san francisco mayor joining us live this afternoon here on the four. former supervisor and former

interim mayor mark farrell is here to discuss where he stands on some of the key issues important to voters. he will also respond to accusations of ethics abuses. our live inte rview coming up next

for voters in november is who's best to fix them. >> and we have set aside time all this week here on the floor to ask important questions of the five leading candidates for mayor. today we are going to sit down with mark farrell. he was born and raised in san francisco, served on the board of supervisors for seven years, representing district two, which includes the marina, the presidio, and cow hollow, among other neighborhoods. farrell also served as interim mayor following the sudden death of mayor ed lee. farrell says he will draw on that experience to help improve life in the city. >> we need a leader that can hit the ground running on day one inside of city hall. and that's

why i'm running for mayor. >> and mark farrell joins us now live here in studio. really appreciate you making the trip across the across the bridge this afternoon, mark. you argue in that ad and to voters that things were better in san francisco when you were interim mayor during those six months, but is it really fair to compare those six months to london breed's tenure, much of which came amidst a global pandemic? >> look, absolutely, you know, mayor breed has a great personal story, but at the end of the day, after six years, she has a track record and the whole world dealt with covid. you know, cities across the u.s. around the world. and right now, san francisco ranks dead last in economic recovery post covid in the united states. that's not a track record of success. it's a track record of failure. and that's why i'm running for mayor to bring san francisco back. >> and i know one of the things that you are out front on is taking a more aggressive approach when it comes to the homelessness issue on the streets. we know during your time, obviously, your six months you spent as as mayor, that was a priority for you. you wanted

to clear street encampments, and obviously you did remove many of the largest encampments. but isn't it true that you really didn't do anything to reduce the unhoused population? ultimately, in the city of san francisco? so i guess the question is, is clearing encampments from the streets really a solution to the homelessness crisis? >> look, absolutely. but it's not the only solution. it's part of a larger solution set that we need to implement in city hall and san francisco, where mayor breed has completely failed and not done that at all. homelessness is now on the rise once again. tent encampments have grown in san francisco once again. and what i did with ten encampments in 2018 was treat people with compassion and respect. but if they said no to our offer of shelter or housing, we took their tents away because i believe the sidewalks of san francisco belong to everybody. they belong to young families, the elderly, not people that just come to san francisco, choose to pitch a tent and then think that the city of san francisco is going to let them be there ad nauseam. that's not the future of san francisco that

i envision. >> mark, what of your opponents? daniel lurie has accused you of wasteful spending on the homelessness crisis and making backroom deals. i want you to take a listen now to an ad outlining those accusations. again. accusations while you were san francisco supervisor, he rubber stamped hundreds of millions to homeless nonprofits with zero accountability and orchestrated a pay to play scheme that sold out taxpayers to the highest bidder. mark, how do you respond to those allegations there of alleged corruption? >> i mean, look, it's a completely laughable. you know, daniel lurie has been the king of non-profits in san francisco for over a decade. that's his entire professional careers in the nonprofit sector. so it's absolutely incredible that this guy is going to try and criticize other people. you know, at the end of the day, he's also the guy that funded the coalition on homelessness from his own nonprofit. this is the organization that protested in front of my home with brooms when i was clearing out tent

encampments. this is the organization handing out free tents on the streets of san francisco. and this is the organization that sued the city of san francisco. so we couldn't remove tent encampments anymore. that is horrific judgment. it's not what we need in san francisco. we need a bold leader who's going to make a difference on the streets of our city. every single day. and again, that's why i'm running for mayor. >> speaking of judgment, i mean, there's a report today from the chronicle that you failed to disclose a $675,000 loan you received from a family to buy your home. obviously, this is debt that you know, it should be disclosed when you put your financial statements in to run for office, but you didn't disclose it. you say this is an oversight. it feels like a pretty significant, pretty expensive oversight here. why didn't you report this? >> look, this is part of the nuances of filing these form seven hundreds with the state when it was brought to my attention, we corrected it immediately. it's on file now. yeah, and it was an oversight and part of seller financing. how we purchased our home a

number of years ago, and we stand by that. but it's something i should have corrected at the time. and we did it now. >> mark, i want to move on to something that a lot of people continue to talk about, and that is a revitalizing downtown, a sort of lack of vibrancy, a lack of people being down there. and you have outlined a 20 year vision for that area. how realistic is that and what else do you propose to bring people back to downtown san francisco? >> it's incredibly realistic, but it's only going to happen with a change of leadership in city hall and the mayor's office. you know, this mayor has continued to have our economy stuck in the mud, and we need to have a change of leadership to do something different. so i believe table stakes are creating public safety and clean streets once again in the downtown core. i believe we need to get aggressive with tax incentives to bring employers and employees back to the downtown area once again, just like we did in the mid market area in the 20 tens. under mayor lee's leadership, that neighborhood was improving. small businesses were thriving. we were we were employing so many people in the city of san francisco. we need to get back

to that. and then long term, it's the conversion from commercial to residential. but it's thinking outside the box. you know, these class b and class c office buildings. let's allow them to demo massively upzone that part of san francisco. all of a sudden we can get these projects penciling today and get people back to work in our trades and build for the future. >> and do you still think it's a good idea to allow cars back onto market street? i know that's been part of the proposal you've put forward to kind of revitalize the downtown area. a lot of people might look at that and go, that's sort of taking a step backward in a city where you want to focus on public transit and having people walking and biking places. yeah. >> look, i fully believe in our transit first policy. we need better muni. we need more protected bike lanes throughout the city of san francisco, specifically on market. what i've proposed is bringing rideshare onto market street, not mark farrell driving his own vehicle, but bringing rideshare vehicles. it's already striped for busses and taxis. and the reality is, we don't have that many taxis in san francisco anymore. we have uber, we have lyft, we have the emergence of waymo. we should get on with the modern era and say, you know what? we're going to increase

throughput to the downtown core. we want more visitors, more vibrancy, more traffic. this is just one step in that direction. all right. >> we're going to continue the conversation here with mark farrell, one of the candidates running for mayor in san francisco. much more to talk about here, including his proposal to add more police officers to the city and why he believes the police department needs new leadership. that'

it is inevitable. chloe! hey dad. they will grow up. [cheering] silly face, ready? discover who they are. [playing music]

what they want from this world. and how they will make it better. and while parenting has changed, how much you care has not. that's why instagram is introducing teen accounts. automatic protections for who can contact them and the content they can see. ♪

who was called for a tougher approach to addressing concerns about public safety and street conditions. farrell says he has a plan to put more officers out there on the streets, and he's also promising new leadership at sfpd. >> we'll start the conversation right there as we bring mark farrell back in here. appreciate you staying with us here. you have obviously said and a lot of people have heard this promise, that if you're elected, you would fire police chief bill scott, chief of the sfpd. you know, chief scott has pushed back on this, and you know, he's pointed to crime numbers across the board, which are trending down. wouldn't removing him create disarray in the department at a time when it feels like things are moving in the right direction? >> no, it's absolutely the right thing to do for san francisco. chief scott is a good man. i work with him before on a personal level, no issues at all. but the reality is, the average tenure of a police chief in the u.s. is three years. he's been here for over eight. the

longest serving police chief in san francisco in the last 50 years. and as rode sidesaddle with mayor breed when she defunded the police department. police staffing is down over 25% since i left office just six years ago, and we have a police commission essentially running roughshod over the police officers on the streets, protecting us every single day. as san francisco residents, i want a new leader to work with me when i'm mayor to grow our police department budget once again, to recruit new officers, to grow our police department in terms of staffing levels and make san francisco safe again for all residents. >> but it would be the police commission that would would put forth a pool of potential candidates to fill that that role. are you confident they would put someone, you know forth that you you would want to have in that position? >> first of all, i'll appoint an interim police chief of my choosing and wait until the correct police chief comes from the police commission. but more importantly, if proposition d passes on the ballot this november, it turns all of our commissions from policy bodies to advisory only in nature, and therefore allows the mayor to hire and fire every department head, including the police

chief. so i'm very optimistic that proposition d will pass. but in the absence of that, we will have the right police chief in there. in there, no matter what. >> mark, you talk about boosting the ranks of sfpd, and one of your proposals is to allow officers who are have retired from the department to come back, still collecting their pensions and to be out on the streets. first of all, is that feasible and is that affordable? >> sure. so this is proposition f that's on the ballot. actually this november. it's not retired officers. it's actually active police officers that are on the verge of retirement. and instead of allowing them to retire, we offer them the ability to stay on the workforce for up to five more years, so long as they're on patrol, not on a desk job, and continue to essentially accrue a pension. and from my perspective, given how short we are on police staffing levels, we want to keep those experienced officers on the work force on the streets of our cit, walking the beats in our neighborhoods, as opposed to retiring. and so to me, it's an essential part of building back our police force. once again,

and really one of the stopgap measures that we need to implement as we grow our police academy. once again, as i did before as supervisor, as mayor, and i will do again next year. >> you know, what would you do differently than than mayor breed when it comes to addressing the drug crisis in the city? you know, it sounds like you would take an aggressive approach, but we're already seeing mayor breed stepping up enforcement, arresting more dealers, even arresting people who are using drugs. how would your approach to addressing that crisis differ from hers? >> look, this administration's approach to the drug crisis is a complete failure. we're breaking our own record for drug overdose deaths on our streets. every single year. last year, over 850 people od'd on the streets of our city. and we're literally, as a city government paying nonprofit workers every day to roll through the tenderloin with shopping carts, handing out free packets of tin foil and straws, enabling people to smoke fentanyl on the streets of our city, enabling people to slowly kill themselves on the streets of our city. to me, that's not humane, progressive or the right

thing to do. my north star is saving lives. how do we get people off the streets voluntarily or involuntarily connect them with services and give them a chance at a different life at the same time? we clean up the streets of our city, clean up our neighborhoods. it's a policy we should feel really great about in san francisco, and something i'm going to do right away. >> mark, we are just about out of time, but my final question has to deal with the competitiveness of this race. and you have formed an alliance with current supervisor ahsha safai. those at home know that san francisco has ranked choice voting. why this strategy? why this approach? and is it fair to voters? >> look, 100%. at the end of the day, i'm not the biggest fan of ranked choice voting. i tried to get rid of it when i was in city hall before, but at the end of the day, it's the system we have and we feel great about where our campaign sits in the polls heading into the final home stretch of this election. but asha and i have worked together before. we share a lot of very similar values. raising children in san francisco both come from

labor backgrounds. both of my parents were heads of their labor unions, working class family. asha has worked for the labor unions as well. so to me, we want to share those values with the voters of san francisco and continue to be out there on the streets every single day educating voters about the right choice for mayor. >> but doesn't this, you know, maybe in some sense sort of telegraph a message to voters that you don't believe you can win this election on your own? >> oh, not at all. but to me, at the end of the day, we're going to do everything possible to make sure that we have a change of leadership inside of city hall. i don't believe the city of san francisco can afford four more years of london breed. we need to turn the page. on the last six years of failed leadership, we need to write a new chapter for san francisco. that's what my campaign has always been about. and that's what this alliance is also about. >> well, mark farrell, we really appreciate you coming in. speaking of incumbent london breed, she will be joining us right here on the floor tomorrow. appreciate your time. mark. >> thank you. we appreciate it. >> israeli airstrikes bombarding lebanon as its war cabinet plans its next attack against iran. this as wartime tensions nearing a tipping point. we'

noticeable dip in temperatures at all of those sites. researchers said that the change in human activity led to the earth releasing fewer pollutants into the atmosphere. and they say these surprising findings suggest that the earth's radiation can influence the moon's surface temperatures. >> well, next, right here on the four. proclamation to celebrate filipino american heritage month in contra costa county. we are live with the high school senior responsible for drafting that proclamation and how he's working to make a change at just 17 years old. >> and in bay area, whether some changes today with some cooling out toward the coast and right around portions of the bay, but still some very hot temperatures elsewhere, and this heat stretch, it will stick around as we h towa

and the class president. he also serves as a regional president of the california association of student councils, and he is passionate about public policy and advocating for the aapi community. >> he is a busy young man. and dylan joins us now live here in studio. thanks for taking the time. dylan, talk with us a little bit about this proclamation. why did you feel it was important to do this? >> yeah. so i am a proud filipino american, and growing up i read a lot of textbooks and there wasn't necessarily representation with people who looked like me. and so i think that my main priority in doing this was making sure that i'm uplifting the histories of forgotten filipinos, whether that's larry itliong, who started the agricultural movement in the united states and in california. i just want to make sure that i am representing my culture and my people. >> talk to me about that. that really special moment earlier this week. you know, we heard attorney general rob bonta basically saying, look, people like you inspire, inspire him to

know that you are the future here. what did it mean to stand up there next to the ag and have your proclamation formalized by the board of supervisors? >> it really meant a lot to me, and quite honestly, it's people like ag bonta who inspire me. there's not a lot of filipino visibility, especially in politics and media as well. and so just seeing him gave me a confidence that, you know, maybe i can do this too one day. and so ag bonta, he's been one of my main inspirations and funny enough, the way that we met, it was a chance interaction on an airplane on a southwest flight. wow. so i turned to my right, recognized the familiar face, and it was ag bonta. so yeah, that is very cool. >> and you just you just went ahead and introduced yourself. >> yeah, i mean, i was i was definitely nervous. of course, i actually talked to this wonderful lady next to me on the flight, and she kind of gave me a confidence to just approach him and i was a little awkward at first. i have to say. but, you know, it all worked out because, you know, we exchanged

phone numbers and he sponsored my initiative, so. >> well, that's wonderful that you that you took that initiative. >> absolutely. at that moment, i would probably be a little nervous if i was sitting next to the ag as well. so what is it that you want people to do? and not really just in contra costa county? i mean, i know that's where the proclamation is, but what do you want people to do during this month? >> i think that especially with our education system, we need to make sure that we're actively researching and learning about filipino history. i know i mentioned larry itliong before, he's not the only one out there. there are plenty of unsung filipino heroes that deserve their recognition. and that's why i brought this proclamation to life. >> all right. let's talk about what the future holds for you. if we could for just a moment here, we're not going to put you on the spot. but obviously you're passionate clearly, about public policy, obviously about advocating for the filipino, filipino american community, the aapi community more broadly. here i was reading you interned at or you are interning at the town of danville and with the contra costa county supervisors office. i know you don't have

any free time, dylan. what what are your aspirations or do you think you want to serve in public office in some way? >> i think in the moment, right now, you know, i'm still in high school. and so i think my main priority is just enjoying what's left of my childhood high school, spending as much time with my friends as i can. also, next semester i'm planning on picking up some new hobbies. i used to play guitar, kind of dropped it, but i think i'll get back into that. but in terms of my future, i'm still undecided. but i will say that i have a passion for public policy, and so whatever i decide to pursue, i definitely want to make an impact and to help lives. >> so have you already thought? i'm guessing you probably have about colleges and where you might want to go. >> i'm still undecided on that. my dream school has always been stanford university, but i know it's really competitive, so we'll just see how it goes. >> all right. well, best of luck to you. i know you're going to do great no matter what you what you wind up doing. we appreciate

you taking the time here. and congratulations on on having your proclamation formalized in contra costa county. great work. >> thank you so much. it means a lot. okay. >> and good luck, dylan. be sure to keep us posted. i will. where you land stanford if you're out there. there you go. this young man is pretty remarkable. dylan. thank you. all right, we're going to send things over now to mark for a look at the full forecast, which, sadly, mark includes more heat. >> yeah, more heat and no major cooldown just yet, but it is starting to show up in our five day forecast. we'll show that to you coming up in a little bit. livermore today, another day of some real hot temperatures 106 degrees. you can see the sequence of days back to monday 96, tuesday 103. yesterday 108 degrees. but here is the change headed our way now in terms of the break in the heat, there's a little bit of a break for your friday, so we'll trim back on those temperatures just a little bit saturday. going to warm things up again. saturday will be the hottest day of the weekend. sunday still hot, but that will kind of open up the door for a cooldown that will kick in, especially into monday and into tuesday. so there is

some relief in sight, but we'll have to wait a few days and early next week for monday and into tuesday. now for the north bay hills. we have an excessive heat warning right now that expires until 11:00 tonight, but some updates with the heat warnings and the heat advisories we were talking about earlier up until friday, 11 p.m. this actually has been extended until 11 p.m. saturday. so we were thinking that that would be the case. in fact, you can see it happening. so heat advisories and heat warnings continue for tomorrow and into the first half of the weekend. so in general, it's a hot forecast and most neighborhoods will fall within this range of 85 to 102 degrees. take a look at the temperature comparison compared to this time yesterday. we're showing you most areas. let's see a little bit cooler. lots of minus signs in front of these numbers. but it is still a very hot afternoon. livermore right now is 104 concord, 102 degrees, san jose 101 and san francisco. not in the 90s. today, basically in the 80s right now, checking in 80 degrees. and you can see a bunch of 90s up in the north bay for santa rosa, novato and in

napa. well, what what would cool us off is the fog. and it's just not here. it's down to our south, down towards southern california trying to approach the bay area, but not so much. so a lot to clear skies, a bit of some haze in the bay area skies once again for today. for tomorrow morning. off to a mild start to start things off and looking ahead here, of course it's been so packed at all the bay area beaches and you can see with the heat warnings here, the excessive heat warning until 11 p.m. saturday. some cooling tomorrow, but still near 100 degrees inland this weekend is warm to hot, but as we showed you, there is some relief in sight, especially by monday of next week. so here's the breakdown. the beaches. we'll just call it nice temperatures in the 70s around the bay. it's warm. kind of taken off a bit of the edge of the extreme heat around the bay, but still in the 80s and then hot again inland. but we'll trim back on those temperatures 95 to 100 degrees overnight temperatures starting out tomorrow morning in the 50s, 60s to right around 70 degrees. you'll probably also notice a few high clouds drifting into

the bay area. possibly could feel a bit humid, a bit muggy around here. and there's the eventual temperature range from the 70s all the way to 100. so here's the setup. there's actually a system up here that will produce some rainfall up to our north, up in seattle. that will help knock down temperatures a little bit tomorrow. but then this high wants to rebuild by saturday. and that will be the source of the warm to hot pattern. to start off the weekend. highs for tomorrow. once again, tomorrow will be cooler in most areas, but still it's a hot day. san francisco 79, san jose mid 90s, livermore 100 degrees in santa rosa in the mid 90s. here's a look ahead. your five day forecast. it's a hot one on saturday. some cooling into sunday, so we'll trim back the temperatures for the second half of the weekend. and look at this. we'll just call it a mild forecast by tuesday just some 60s 70s and 80s. so we can dream about that cool down. it's heading our way into next week. >> all right. eventually it will be here. >> thank you so much. we have much more news headed your way. but first, a live look at traffic conditions along 280 in san jose. as we take a live look
